Description
NUCLEAR CRANE
A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
That is the message from President Csaba Kőrösi.
In a tweet, the President said that the dangers from nuclear weapons arise from their very existence. We should use our technologies and resources to create better lives; not costlier, deadlier threats.
In this context, the President wholeheartedly supports the hashtags #CranesforOurFuture campaign, and all it represents – a world without nuclear weapons, and a future where the horrors of the past are never repeated.
The campaign is held ahead of the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
